The match is one of the most challenging stipulations to perform in. However, some superstars have defied the odds to win more than once.

Triple H, John Cena, Edge and Daniel Bryan have won multiple matches inside the punishing structure. The King of Kings has won it the most times at four. However, he's not the one with the most appearances.

Speaking of eliminations, Braun Strowman and Shayna Baszler hold the record for most eliminations in a single match at five. However, Baszler is the only superstar to eliminate all the other competitors in the match as Strowman set the record in a seven-man Elimination Chamber match.

Triple H and Daniel Bryan hold the record for either winning or defending both the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship inside the Chamber.

Multiple records may be created or broken on February 19, 2022, as Bobby Lashley will defend his WWE Title against major stars like AJ Styles, Brock Lesnar and Riddle inside the Chamber.
